Pickens County head coaches Ryan Lolley from Gordo and James Thompson from Pickens County High School will be coaching in the annual North/ South all-star game this summer. For Lolley, this is his second time as an as- sistant coach in the game, along with his 2013 selection. It will be Thompson’s first time coaching in the game.

“It’s an honor to be able to coach some of the best players in the state,” Lolley said. “It’s fun to work with different guys; both coaches and players.You get an opportunity to learn new things and get new ideas.”

Thompson said that he received a call from Locust Fork’s Chris Musso, the head coach for the North team and was offered an assistant coaching position in the 58th annual all-star game.
